Seriously? Two lousy gigabytes a month is "overselling"? That's, say, three hours at 200KB/s. Per month.
I find that difficult to believe, except in the very most crowded areas.
- tzs 16y agoOh man, imagine the consumer confusion if they tried to tier data prices by how crowded your area is. So, someone in the middle of nowhere gets cheap data, but someone in a crowded area does not. Now in addition to voice roaming, we'd have to worry about data roaming as we move around between city, suburbs, and rural areas.

But entrenched companies seldom like playing in an well functioning market when they can be rent collectors instead.
